Erling Haaland benefits from a contract offer that cannot be refused. From… Manchester City.
It is one of the most sought after players on the market – a prolific striker for whom the biggest clubs are ready to fight in the more or less near future. For many months now, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have willingly played the media misinformation on this issue by putting forward their marbles and displaying their pretensions. But Erling Haaland does indeed belong to Manchester City…
While his current contract runs until June 2027, the Norwegian is so attractive that the Skyblues already feel obliged to lock his lease by granting him a significant salary increase to extend it for two years. Until summer 2029, therefore. According to the Daily Mirror, the Cityzens would prove so persuasive that the deal could close shortly.
The highest paid player in Premier League history
For the man who scored another hat-trick today with the Norwegian selection, we are talking about a weekly salary of 500,000 pounds – or 600,000 euros – compared to the 450,000 euros received today. Emoluments that would make the cyborg the highest paid player in the history of the Premier Leaguein front of a certain Kevin De Bruyne who currently receives 480,000 euros per week.
The only sticking point at the moment in the a priori discussions is a release clause that Manchester City initially wanted to remove, to protect themselves from any untimely offensive. Erling Haaland's entourage, on the other hand, is campaigning for the maintenance of this possible way out – an option which today exists in his contract, costed at 150 million euros. The two camps could quickly agree, however, on a simple revaluation of this clause, bringing it to 200 million pounds (around 240 million euros).
